Your doc is one of the very best, how very fortunate for you that you can rely upon him and the staff of his facility to treat you. They really know thier stuff. What does Richman think will help you the most? I also think you may want to ask him to try to specifically address the nausea with stronger meds next time you are in for an infusion.
I've had a real tough time with the nausea during and after some of my ketamine treatments, but other times I am fine. I have a script for Zofran which helps. They also add stuff to the infusions while they are running. But the time I might have to spend with a bucket (we always bring one in the car on treatment days) is well worth the relief I get afterwards. The RSD in my head is really bad when it gets going, and I really HATE it when my head hurts a lot.
The very best of luck to you with everything. I really hope that things settle down for you soon!

Hey Sandy,
I would probably not do ketamine again, even thought I could use a booster. But I don't think it's for me anymore, just a personal choice. I still may have surgurical issues to deal with at some point, I might try some blocks in the mean time, SGB, and just continue to go the gym and move as much as I can. Like I have said in the past working out for me actually helps my pain, helps me sleep better and I just feel overall better. I don't know if it's the endorphines or what. But for you guys that are happy with the results I think it's great and hope you continue to get relieve.
Yes, we do have our hands full. The house is complete and she should be able to go home in a week or so. Final testing still has to be done and the results have to come back and then she can go home. We still have to arrange for a nurse once a week to drain he pleurs plug and since she only has 1 lung her insurance will pay for a nurses aid to come 3x's a week to help her bath, make sure she's eating and so on. Thank god for that we live an hour plus away from her, but we still will have to go down on the days other's are not so she's covered. Thank you so much for asking.
